What are Gestational Trophoblastic Diseases (GTD)?
Gestational Trophoblastic Diseases (GTD) encompass a group of rare tumors that involve abnormal growth of cells inside a woman's uterus. These tumors originate from the trophoblastic cells, which are normally responsible for the development of the placenta during pregnancy. GTD can range from benign forms, such as hydatidiform mole, to malignant forms like choriocarcinoma.
